Description

L'invention concerne les meubles de bureau servant au classement des dossiers, particulièrement les meubles à tiroirs coulissants superposés.The invention relates to office furniture used for filing files, particularly furniture with sliding drawers superimposed.

Le problème posé par ces meubles tient au fait que pour des raisons évidentes d'économie d'espace et d'accessibilité des dossiers, les tiroirs ont une longueur égale à trois ou quatre fois leur largeur. Il en résulte un porte-à-faux important lorsque un tiroir est tiré à fond et le meuble bascule si le poids situé sur le levier formé par un tiroir ouvert crée un couple de forces dépassant la résistance du meuble au basculement.The problem with these pieces of furniture is that for obvious reasons of economy of space and accessibility of the files, the drawers have a length equal to three or four times their width. This results in a significant overhang when a drawer is fully pulled out and the cabinet tips over if the weight on the lever formed by an open drawer creates a couple of forces exceeding the cabinet's resistance to tilting.

Le dispositif décrit par le brevet FR N8 1 568 229 (BRUNEAU) se caractérise essentiellement en ce que des moyens sont prévus pour verrouiller les tiroirs, sauf un, par des rampes latérales inclinées solidaires des tiroirs coopérant chacune avec un galet solidaire de la rampe de verrouillage, de façon qu'on ne puisse ouvrir qu'un seul tiroir à la fois.The device described by patent FR N 8 1 568 229 (BRUNEAU) is essentially characterized in that means are provided for locking the drawers, except one, by inclined lateral ramps integral with the drawers each cooperating with a roller integral with the ramp lock, so that only one drawer can be opened at a time.

La barre de verrouillage des tiroirs est commandée, soit par la serrure, soit par l'ouverture des tiroirs :

  • - par la serrure : c'est l'excentrique de la serrure qui, en tournant, soulève la barre;
  • - par le tiroir : c'est en ouvrant l'un des tiroirs que la rampe (10) soulève la barre (4) par l'intermédiaire du galet (8).
Tout fonctionne bien si l'on ouvre un seul tiroir à la fois, mais si un dossier mal rangé, ou toute autre cause, entraine l'ouverture simultanée de deux ou trois tiroirs, les rampes (10) soulèvent en même temps la barre et deux ou trois tiroirs s'ouvrent simultanément.The drawer locking bar is controlled either by the lock or by the opening of the drawers:
  • - by the lock: it is the eccentric of the lock which, by turning, lifts the bar;
  • - by the drawer: it is by opening one of the drawers that the ramp (10) lifts the bar (4) via the roller (8).
Everything works well if you open only one drawer at a time, but if a poorly stored file, or any other cause, causes two or three drawers to open simultaneously, the ramps (10) raise the bar at the same time and two or three drawers open simultaneously.

Le problème à résoudre, consiste à mettre en place un dispositif capable d'interdire l'ouverture simultanée de plusieurs tiroirs.The problem to be solved consists in setting up a device capable of preventing the simultaneous opening of several drawers.

A cette fin, le dispositif selon l'invention est caractérisé par le fait qu'il est constitué par au moins une barre de sécurité interdisant l'ouverture simultanée de plusieurs tiroirs (A, B. C) coulissant librement entre une butée inférieure (D) et une butée supérieure (E), dans une glissière (G) fixée contre une paroi latérale intérieure du meuble, parallèlement à une arête verticale bordant la face d'ouverture des tiroirs, cette barre portant des tourillons munis de galets tournants judicieusement répartis sur la face de la barre orientée vers les tiroirs, ladite barre coopérant avec des rampes fixées sur au moins une face latérale de chaque tiroir, parallèlement et à proximité de son fond, par le fait que la barre de sécurité se déplace vers le haut, sous la seule action de la rampe des tiroirs A ou B en cours d'ouverture sur le galet qui lui fait face, les autres galets, déplacés avec la barre qui les porte par ledit tiroir, venant bloquer les rampes des autres tiroirs afin d'interdire leur ouverture simultanée, et par le fait que, lors de la fermeture du tiroir précédemment ouvert, la barre de sécurité, sous l'effet de son propre poids, place un galet devant la rampe de chaque tiroir A ou B à l'exception du tiroir inférieur (C) qui peut s'ouvrir sans modifier la position de la barre mais qui condamne celle-ci dès son ouverture, interdisant ainsi l'ouverture des tiroirs A et B.To this end, the device according to the invention is characterized in that it is constituted by at least one safety bar preventing the simultaneous opening of several drawers (A, B. C) sliding freely between a lower stop (D ) and an upper stop (E), in a slide (G) fixed against an interior side wall of the cabinet, parallel to a vertical edge bordering the opening face of the drawers, this bar carrying trunnions provided with rotating rollers judiciously distributed over the face of the bar oriented towards the drawers, said bar cooperating with ramps fixed on at least one lateral face of each drawer, parallel and close to its bottom, by the fact that the safety bar moves upwards, under the only action of the ramp of drawers A or B being opened on the roller facing it, the other rollers, moved with the bar carrying them by said drawer, blocking the ramps of the other drawers in order to inter say their simultaneous opening, and the fact that, when closing the previously opened drawer, the safety bar, under the effect of its own weight, places a roller in front of the ramp of each drawer A or B except the lower drawer (C) which can open without changing the position of the bar but which locks as soon as it opens, preventing the opening of drawers A and B.

L'écartement des galets sur la barre de sécurité des tiroirs est déterminé par la largeur de la rampe du tiroir central passant entre les deux galets centraux.The spacing of the rollers on the safety bar of the drawers is determined by the width of the ramp of the central drawer passing between the two central rollers.

Le galet supérieur est disposé de telle sorte qu'il corresponde à la rampe supérieure du tiroir supérieur.The upper roller is arranged so that it corresponds to the upper ramp of the upper drawer.

Le galet inférieur est disposé de telle sorte qu'il corresponde à la rampe inférieure du tiroir inférieur.The lower roller is arranged so that it corresponds to the lower ramp of the lower drawer.

L'extrémité des rampes orientée vers la face extérieure des tiroirs et située à proximité de celle-ci est en forme de dièdre.The end of the ramps oriented towards the outside face of the drawers and located near the latter is in the form of a dihedral.

Le principal avantage du dispositif selon l'invention réside dans le fait que l'ouverture d'un tiroir, après un tour de clef libérant des moyens de blocage indépendants, soulève ou condamne la rampe de sécurité laquelle, coulissant librement dans sa glissière entre deux repères, vient placer au moins un galet devant la rampe de chacun des tiroirs A et B, interdisant ainsi leur ouverture simultanée. La fermeture dudit tiroir replace les galets, par glissement de la rampe de sécurité qui les porte, dans une position telle que la rampe de chaque tiroir A et B bute contre un galet. Un dispositif indépendant et connu permet de fermer le meuble à clef.The main advantage of the device according to the invention lies in the fact that the opening of a drawer, after a turn of the key releasing independent locking means, lifts or condemns the safety ramp which, sliding freely in its slide between two markers, comes to place at least one roller in front of the ramp of each of drawers A and B, thus preventing their simultaneous opening. Closing said drawer places the rollers, by sliding the safety ramp which carries them, in a position such that the ramp of each drawer A and B abuts against a roller. An independent and known device enables the cabinet to be locked.

D'autres avantages ressortiront de la description d'une forme d'exécution, faite à titre d'exemple préférentiel mais non limitatif et du dessin dans lequel :

  • - la figure 1 est une vue en coupe d'un meuble à trois tiroirs superposés;
  • - la figure 2 est un schéma des positions respectives des rampes de tiroirs et des galets lorsque les trois tiroirs sont fermés;
  • - Les figures 3, 4 et 5 sont des schémas d'ouverture de chacun des trois tiroirs.
Other advantages will emerge from the description of an embodiment, given by way of a preferential but nonlimiting example and from the drawing in which:
  • - Figure 1 is a sectional view of a cabinet with three superimposed drawers;
  • - Figure 2 is a diagram of the respective positions of the ramps of drawers and rollers when the three drawers are closed;
  • - Figures 3, 4 and 5 are opening diagrams of each of the three drawers.

La figure 1 est une coupe schématique d'un meuble comportant trois tiroirs A, B, C, superposés, contenus dans un même coffre 1 et mobiles sur des rails parallèles non représentés.Figure 1 is a schematic section of a cabinet comprising three drawers A, B, C, superimposed, contained in the same box 1 and movable on parallel rails not shown.

Afin d'éviter l'ouverture simultanée de plusieurs tiroirs, ce qui risquerait de faire basculer le coffre 1, une barre 2 rigide coulisse librement entre une butée supérieure E et une butée inférieure D dans une glissière G fixée sur une face latérale 100 à l'intérieur du coffre 1, parallèlement à une arête verticale 101 située près de la face du coffre sur laquelle s'ouvrent les tiroirs.In order to avoid the simultaneous opening of several drawers, which would risk tilting the trunk 1, a rigid bar 2 slides freely between an upper stop E and a lower stop D in a slide G fixed on a lateral face 100 to l 'interior of the trunk 1, parallel to a vertical edge 101 located near the face of the trunk on which the drawers open.

Cette barre 2 porte des tourillons munis de galets tournants 1A, 1B, 1B', 1C servant à condamner l'ouverture des autres tiroirs quand on en a ouvert un.This bar 2 carries trunnions provided with rotating rollers 1A, 1B, 1B ', 1C used to block the opening of the other drawers when one has been opened.

L'écartement entre les galets 1A, 1B, 1B' et 1C sur la barre 2, est déterminé par la largeur de la rampe 20 du tiroir B passant entre les deux galets 1B et 1B' lors de son ouverture. Les galets 1A et 1C sont disposés de telle sorte qu'ils correspondent respectivement à la partie supérieure 10' de la rampe 10 du tiroir A et à la partie inférieure 30" de la rampe 30 du tiroir C. Lorsqu'on ouvre le tiroir du milieu, les autre rampes 10, 30 butent alors chacune contre un seul galet 1A, 1C lesquels interdisent ainsi l'ouverture des autres tiroirs A et C.The spacing between the rollers 1A, 1B, 1B 'and 1C on the bar 2, is determined by the width of the ramp 20 of the drawer B passing between the two rollers 1B and 1B' when it is opened. The rollers 1A and 1C are arranged so that they correspond respectively to the upper part 10 'of the ramp 10 of the drawer A and to the lower part 30 "of the ramp 30 of the drawer C. When the middle drawer is opened, the other ramps 10, 30 then each abut against a single roller 1A, 1C which thus prevent the opening of the other drawers A and C.

Chaque tiroir est muni sur sa face latérale orientée vers la barre 2, d'une rampe 10, 20, 30 fixée parallèlement à son fond. L'extrémité de chaque rampe située du côté de la face extérieure du tiroir est en forme de dièdre, afin de faciliter son passage au-dessus, au-dessous ou entre les galets 1A, 18, 1B', 1C répartis judicieusement sur la barre 2.Each drawer is provided on its lateral face oriented towards the bar 2, with a ramp 10, 20, 30 fixed parallel to its bottom. The end of each ramp located on the side of the external face of the drawer is in the form of a dihedral, in order to facilitate its passage above, below or between the rollers 1A, 18, 1B ', 1C judiciously distributed on the bar 2.

La fonction de la barre 2 s'explique comme suit :

  • - En position zéro - figure 2 - les tiroirs A, B, C sont fermés; la barre 2 portant les galets 1A, 18, 18', 1C est en position basse contre la butée inférieure D,
The function of bar 2 is explained as follows:
  • - In the zero position - figure 2 - the drawers A, B, C are closed; the bar 2 carrying the rollers 1A, 18, 18 ', 1C is in the low position against the lower stop D,

les tiroirs A et B ne peuvent être ouverts sans entraîner la montée de la barre 2 à l'aide des galets 1A ou 1B,drawers A and B cannot be opened without causing the bar 2 to rise using rollers 1A or 1B,

le tiroir C peut être ouvert sans modifier la position de la barre 2 (voir position 1).

  • - En position 1 - figure 3 - le tiroir C est ouvert, les tiroirs A et 8 sont fermés. L'ouverture du tiroir C s'obtient sans modification de la position de la barre 2 contre la butée inférieure D, mais celle-ci se trouve condamnée et les galets 1A et 18 interdisent l'ouverture des tiroirs A et B.
  • - En position 2 - figure 4 - le tiroir A est ouvert, les tiroirs B et C sont fermés. L'ouverture du tiroir A soulève la barre 2 par la partie supérieure 10' de sa rampe 10 agissant sur le galet 1A. Ce glissement de la barre 2 place les galets 1B' et 1C devant les rampes 20 et 30 interdisant ainsi l'ouverture simultanée des tiroirs B et C.
  • - En position 3 - figure 5 - le tiroir B est ouvert, les tiroirs A et C sont fermés. L'ouverture du tiroir B soulève la barre 2 par la partie supérieure 20' de sa rampe 20 agissant sur le galet 1B; la partie inférieure 20" de sa rampe 20 s'appuie sur le galet 1B' empêchant tout autre déplacement de la rampe étant que le tiroir B est ouvert. En effet, dans cette position, la rampe 10 du tiroir A bute contre le galet 1A et la rampe 30 du tiroir C bute contre le galet 1C.
drawer C can be opened without changing the position of bar 2 (see position 1).
  • - In position 1 - figure 3 - the drawer C is open, the drawers A and 8 are closed. The opening of the drawer C is obtained without modifying the position of the bar 2 against the lower stop D, but the latter is locked and the rollers 1A and 18 prohibit the opening of the drawers A and B.
  • - In position 2 - figure 4 - drawer A is open, drawers B and C are closed. The opening of the drawer A lifts the bar 2 by the upper part 10 'of its ramp 10 acting on the roller 1A. This sliding of the bar 2 places the rollers 1B 'and 1C in front of the ramps 20 and 30 thus preventing the simultaneous opening of the drawers B and C.
  • - In position 3 - figure 5 - drawer B is open, drawers A and C are closed. The opening of the drawer B raises the bar 2 by the upper part 20 'of its ramp 20 acting on the roller 1B; the lower part 20 "of its ramp 20 rests on the roller 1B 'preventing any other displacement of the ramp being that the drawer B is open. In fact, in this position, the ramp 10 of the drawer A abuts the roller 1A and the ramp 30 of the drawer C abuts against the roller 1C.
